Despite being the oldest out of the three SEGA fighting games released on November 28th, 2012, Virtua Fighter 2 has aged very well and when looking at all three games together, it's clear that the simple design philosophy at the heart of the Virtua Fighter franchise is the difference. When the original Virtua Fighter burst onto the arcade scene, it was mind-blowing thanks to the fully 3D character models. By working within the confines of their hardware instead of trying to push it too hard, SEGA's AM2 team created a simple, elegant fighting game with a focus on real-world martial arts and nothing else. No clunky meters, no projectiles, no wild animations, just two virtual martial artists coming to blows until one is left standing.
